So both are in the same application or both are two different applications ?
It has to be separate .. you cannot apply for any permit in 1 application besides PR application

Yes. Principle applicant can add spouse for open work permit. The application is together, but once transmitted, they will give two file numbers.

K never heard of that before. When I filed on Feb 6 for me and Feb 11 for her .. it clearly said spouse needed to file work permit by herself and could not be attached to my file.
